Comedian felt it ‘was the end’ during years when business dried up

COMEDIAN Alan Shortt has spoken of the demons and darkness which engulfed him for over two years as work dried up and he found himself struggling to support his family.

The 44-year-old Cork native told of the knock-on effect the loss of his job at Dublin radio station Q102 had on him.

He said he left the station in shock less than an hour of being told of the decision, which he blamed on the “accountants”.
